Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix together sauce, garlic, and ketchup to create the glaze.
- Line a baking pan with heavy-duty foil.
- Pour the mixture over the beef brisket roast.
- Bake in a 325°F oven for 1 hour per pound of meat.
- Thicken the gravy by mixing a little flour with water and bringing it to a boil.
Tips & Substitutions
For a deeper flavor, consider marinating the brisket overnight with the sauce mixture. If you don't have garlic, garlic powder can be a quick substitute. For a twist, try adding a splash of soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce to the glaze. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the brisket reaches an internal temperature of at least 190°F for optimal tenderness.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the beef brisket with classic sides like mashed potatoes or coleslaw for a comforting meal. It also pairs beautifully with Lisa'S Sweet & Tangy Barbecue Sauce for those who enjoy a bolder flavor. Consider adding pickles or sautéed vegetables for a fresh crunch to balance the rich meat.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover brisket can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, slice the brisket and warm it gently in a covered skillet over low heat, adding a splash of beef broth or water to maintain moisture. Alternatively, it can be reheated in the oven at 325°F until warmed through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of beef for this recipe?
Yes, while brisket is ideal for its tenderness and flavor, you can substitute with a chuck roast or a round roast. Just be aware that cooking times may vary, and these cuts may require additional seasoning or moisture to remain flavorful.
What can I do if the brisket is tough after cooking?
If your brisket turns out tough, it might need more cooking time. Cover it and return it to the oven, checking every 30 minutes until it's fork-tender. Slicing against the grain also helps enhance tenderness.
How can I enhance the glaze flavor?
To enhance the glaze, you can add a tablespoon of brown sugar for sweetness or a splash of apple cider vinegar for tanginess. Experimenting with spices like paprika or chili powder can also add depth to the flavor profile.
